Such an amazing group of professionals! There support is unmatched as they extend themselves beyond the call of duty in our communities!

We were facing a change of custody with a malicious ex-wife that had a lot of time on her hands. Sounds amazing, right??? Sheri Lake came HIGHLY recommended to us. Sheri, Stephanie, and Kristen Files had their hands full responding to harassing motions, absurd accusations, incompetent emails, and postponed court dates. (It took a village) It was comforting to know that they were handling it all for us. We felt minimum disruption from someone determined to try and cause destruction. In the courtroom Kristen was completely prepared and a force to be reckoned with. When it comes to getting justice served, I can't imagine hiring anyone else!

My experience with Smith & Lake was excellent. Laura Sclafani was my attorney. She was very informative, considerate, and diligent. It was a pleasure working with her on my case.

Kristen, Taylor, Shannon, and Sandy were so incredibly helpful as well as sensitive to the issues I was facing. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice or help!

Kristen Files was great to work with. She was very responsive and worked hard on my behalf from start to finish on my case. She was clear on what I could expect throughout the process, which made everything so much easier to manage. Shannon and the rest of the Smith & Lake team I had contact with were great as well.

Kristen Files was amazing in court. She was consistently professional and articulate. She and her firm were behind us from the beginning for a long and hard case. Divorce and custody sucks but with this team and this lawyer behind you it will be as painless as they can make it.

Had high hopes in the beginning. Kristen seemed really with it. In hind sight, I realize she didn't fully grasp how high conflict the situation was. She was late to mediation. She seemed distracted and unable to focus on the pertinent issues. Ms. Files got into a written back and forth with opposing counsel that pushed back filing of financial paperwork for child support. I was asked the same questions multiple times, I had to repeat questions multiple times before I was given answers. I gave her office explicit directions from DCSS regarding filling paperwork for the income deduction order and she did not follow them, resulting in me having to go the DCSS office to properly file paperwork after four months of incorrect payments.

Kristen Files was very knowledgeable and professional when putting together my prenup. She did a great job making it an easy, smooth process answering all my questions. Thank you!

Dawn Smith grasps the complexities and intricacies of a case so quickly. When children are involved I can think of no better representation for their best interest. Compassionate, understanding, and tough when it matters.

Went in for some divorce advise, for a divorce where the wife abandoned the husband, and the the lawyer was walking around with a handheld calculator to ensure that every last minute was billed...not even a free 1/2 or 1 hour consultations.

My case is very complicated and on going. Smith and Lake have been professional and very understanding. To them I am not a case or a walking billing hour client. I am a person with feelings and rights and they acknowledge that. Day or night, they have been there for me to answer my calls, texts or emails. Their experience speaks for itself. The day I met them, I knew they would be the ones to represent me and get me what is fair and right in the eyes of the law. To top it all Dawn Smith was recently listed once again as 2015 Georgia Super Lawyer in the Family Law field. I value their advice, company and mostly friendship.
